Kenya National Parks and Reserves

There are some 54 Kenya National Parks and Reserves, with many sanctuaries and private conservancies all over the country.

The private conservancies work closely together with the Kenya Wildlife Services, KWS. The responsibility for the management of the National Reserves, the Maasai Mara being one of them, is in constant fluctuation and being discussed on a regular base. It is mainly under the oversight of the country councils.

KWS is responsible for managing the National Parks, to protect the wildlife from poaching and from bush meat opportunists, which is a huge problem all over Africa.

The Marine National Parks and Reserves fall under their restrictions and management as well.

Protecting these Parks and Reserves is getting more and more important, as our population is growing incredibly fast and resources are running low for both humans and animals. These natural pockets supply us all with water, trees and fresh air.

Considering that only about 10% of Kenya's Nature and Animals are under protection, shows how precious this all is! It will require for us All to pull together, locals & visitors, to safeguard what is still left for future generations and for All of us, Humans AND Animals, as we are ALL connected!
